conclusion-that there ought to be and

The little State OF Belgium has always
been the battle ground of Europe. More
decisive battles have been fought on its
soil than on any other of equal area in the
world. Should war occur between France
and Germany, Belgium must bear the
brunt of the conflict This small nation
ality appears to have been kept distinct
as lighting ground for its bigger neigh
borS when they fell out, just now the
people OF Belgium are taking great inter

though unable to do anything in either,
except to patiently await the turn of
events.

If President Cleveland has any regard
for the wishes, interests or good opin-
ions of veterans Of the late war who
fought on the side of the Nation hc is
very unfortunate in his movements. The
signing of the Mexican pension bill fol
lowed by the yctoing Of the dependent
pension act and OF large number Of
private pension bills, is fItly followed
by an order notifying governors of South
ern states that the flags captured by
Union troops from the troops Of their
respective states would be returned to
the authorities Of those states This order
1t appears was not originated by the
President but came from the war office,
but it created such a stir and was SO
earnestly demonstrated against, that he
could not stand the pressure and counter
manded it. 1t is strange that this gratu
itous insult should have been offered to
the defenders of the Nation quarter of
century after the great war. If the
government can't afford to take care of
colors and emblcms of lost cause it
better sell them to junk dealers.

There are now 5000 men at work on
the Canadian Pacific railroad in the Wei
nifty of Greenvile, and it is the desire of
the contra tors to increase this force to
5000. They are having no trouble in
hiring unskilled labor, but now need
woodsmen, laborers who can WELD an
axe satisfactorily. These are very scarce
and hard to obtain. They are paid
81 so per day of ten hours and are usually
able to make day and quarter between
sunrise and sunset. Eight thousand men
will make quite an army in the Maine
woods.

Perhaps the most important event in
the religious world, is the decision of the
the Board of Visitors of the Andoycr
Theological Seminary, Congregational,
that Professor Smyth, who is President,
has been teaching hcrcsy, and has been
expelled from the position. The chief
point of hcrcSy is that the Professor does
not believe that all parts of the Bible are
divincly inspired and that for those who
have not heard Of Christ and accepted
salvation in this life, season will be
given after death to seek pardon and for
givcness of sins. There are other points,
but these are the main ones. The contest
is not yet over Three other Professors
are retained who are ccnSurcd for taking
side with Professor Smyth, two of whom
are known in Maine, Rev. George Harris,
native of Machias, and Rev. DR. Kinks,
formerly II pastor in Portland. PROBES ,or
Smyth is "A native of Maine, 50 if what
these men have been teaching and bclev-
ing be hcrcsy, the hereticS are Maine
men. But the hcrcticS have the Cun@re
gational church behind them. The TruS-
tees Of the Institution, are nearly all with
the dismissed Professor, and it is safe to
say that here in Boston, there are but
three or -four Congregational pastors,
who stand by the old theology 1t shows
